Getflix.com smart DNS lifetime subscription $29

Anyone using their VPN?
Anytime I use mine, internet speeds on the PC drop to nothing....so much so that I cannot do what I got the VPN for in the first place!

Getflix need to know your current external IP address. If this is not static either use getflix app from app store or dydns service to keep your IP undated. I use no-ip with no problems.

Thanks OP - signed up there after taking up the free trial.

Signing up for TechCrunch newsletter gives 10% off purchases over $30, so it came to €33.15 on Revolut

Is $39 the best offer out there at the moment?
Would this work with a NowTV box?

thanks

I'm not too up on these things, but 30 odd quid for 'lifetime' dns service is gonna be hard to top..

I'll have to leave it to someone else about the Now TV box, but I didn't think geoblocking was an issue with them once you buy a pass?

If I remember correctly there is an issue with hard coded dns settings on these boxes. You have to set up static routes in your router to circumvent.

It's worth the price for the iplayer alone imo.

US Netflix seems to be working again.

It never stopped working for me.

Did anyone else go with the free trial of Smart DNS mentioned here (not GetFlix - although they seem to be the same company)
It stopped working for me and didn't come back...

Oddly enough trials often stop working after a period.

BBC iplayer will soon be asking for a TV licence number so thats going to be another issue unfortunately

Ha ha no it went four days before the trial was up. I was using it for netflix and it said " You are using a proxy.. Stoppit" or something to that effect.

I tried using IPlayer and the first time it asked me if I had a licence- it didnt ask for a number - just to tick a box to say I had one.

I believe new EU laws this year are supposed to stop BBC from blocking within the EU. We might get one year unblocked until Brexit?

That doesnt seem definite. It already asks if you have a license which only changed recently as far as Im aware.

Anyway the point still stands, If you can get a few months of this DNS service working then its definitely worth it.

I'd be far happier paying the BBC for a licence than RTE, if I had a choice..

Quick tech support question... hope somebody can help:
I'm trying to change the DNS at the router level (Virgin's Horizon Box) rather than on the device itself. Has anybody had any success in doing this? Am I doing it wrong?
I go into the modem's web interface, them the Basic tab, and Local area network menu... change the DNS with the ones provided by getflix, save. restart the box but when i check on the getflix account page it says that the dns is not enables and sure enough the streaming service i'm trying to access doesnt work.
thanks

Google setting up a static route to Googles public DNS if it's possible on the box. It might help.

Thanks, I found some instructions on the Getflix support pages by googling your tip above. Will try it this evening.

Did anyone manage to set the DNS on a Virgin Media Hub?

"Virgin Media Hub 3.0 device"

In about I can see the DNS - but I cannot find anywhere it can be manually set? There is no option in admin pages, no wan page and nowhere in the DHCP I can set it - thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Virgin blocked the facility to set up a DNS server on your device. I can't set up Getflix on my Virgin supplied router as the only option is for a IPv6 DNS server and Getflix don't offer it ATM.

maybe you can bridge mode and then supply your own router.

I'm not finding where on the Horizon box configuration menu I would insert the static routes.
Anybody configured their getflix DNS directly on the Horizon box?

I found this thread - it shows how to access some hidden options to change the IP address - I'm currently trying work out if its possible to change other settings using this method.

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/QuickStart-set-up-and/Superhub-3-internal-network-address/td-p/3019907/page/5


I want to change the DNS.. **WITHOUT having another router/wifi box** - as I dont want to opt out of the Horizon Free Wifi service or have yet another box of blinking lights.

ozmo

So... from that long thread...

Assuming your router is currently still at 192.168.0.1, and you want to change it to 192.168.1.1, the URLs you need are:

http://192.168.0.1/snmpSet?oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.20.1.1.2.2.1.5.200=%24c0a80101;4;&_n=0
http://192.168.0.1/snmpSet?oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.20.1.1.2.2.1.11.200=%24C0A8010A;4;&_n=0
http://192.168.0.1/snmpSet?oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.20.1.1.2.2.1.13.200=%24c0a801fe;4;&_n=0
http://192.168.0.1/snmpSet?oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.20.1.1.9.0=1;2;&_n=0

But you need to change n=0 to a valid value for n which you get by monitoring the web traffic from your browser to the router as you log in...

And the IP address is specified by 4 Hex digits (eg. 192.168.42.13=c0A82A0D)

The long sequence of dotted numbers are whats called SNMP - and its a well documented standard protocol - so it should be just a case of finding what the SNMP codes required for changing the DNS setting is.

(also - we probably should know how to reset the modem to factory defaults before trying it in case its set to an bad ip we cannot connect to)

Does this still work for you guys? The lifetime offer for $35 is still valid was thinking of getting it as the Irish NF lineup is so bad.
